Design Wall Monday 10/29/12

On my design wall this morning is the start of my BOM block for our guild.  Didn't get very far:

My first set of out of state company won't be coming after all - flights have been cancelled and she lives in NJ which is shut down right now awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Sandy.  Adding to the worries is that my daughter and grandson were scheduled to fly out with her tomorrow, but are now stranded for the hurricane also. Please say a prayer for them.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times  and Lyn's BOMs Away.  Do visit for eye candy galore.

I made this carpenter star to quilt along with Judy Laquidara's tutorial on how to free motion feathers.  It was a great tutorial.  You can go here to see it.  And here is the back (actually a pale yellow) :

Blogger’s Quilt Festival Stats

Finished quilt measures : 38" x 38"
Pieced & Quilted by : Angie Nudge
Best Category : Wall Hanging

I made mine to be a wall hanging.  It was a fun project and all the materials were in my stash. Back in January I decided I would learn to do free motion quilting.  It has been a long process, but I feel I'm making some progress with SewCalGal's 2012 FMQ Challenge and Leah's Free Motion Project.  And then Judy posted her tutorial - Thanks, Judy!  Do click on the button above to visit the Festival.  Enjoy!
